Beaded Beads

I have always loved working with my hands, whether it was knitting, potting or just digging in the garden. Painting has always been there, but I never (a) had the time, or (b) thought I was good enough. Now I've realised, you create because you want to, and not for what anybody else thinks of you. One of the elements of creating that I really like is beading. I do it simply because I like it - I never wear jewellery, so I now help my teacher, Maré Abbott by putting together the work she visualises. If you would like to join her classes, e-mail her at tigandme@mweb.co.za. Classes are held in Cape Town, but she does teach in Johannesburg and Durban. Here are just two examples of firstly, beaded beads and the second is based on a Zulu rope design.

About Me

Although I have been blogging since 2008, I am still not good with computer technology.
As a result, my blog sometimes gets a bit neglected - for that I apologise.
Having left the business world behind in 2000, my life has become immersed in the artworld. I belong to various societies here in Cape Town and they keep me active. I also now teach twice a week and love the progress made by my students. Lucky me, my classes are full at the moment.
I do hope all the friends I've made over the years still keep in touch. You have all been so inspirational in this part of my journey. Thank you.
